AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Regional Rice: ECOWAS has launched a $25 billion programme aiming for West African rice self-sufficiency by 2035, with funding planned for farmers, businesses and stronger supply chains. Local Research: DNA analysis of droppings from birds and bats in northern Guinea-Bissau identified 87 rice pests among their prey, revealing how the two groups may help protect crops. Research Ethics: Guinea-Bissau has cancelled a proposed hepatitis B vaccine trial involving 14,000 newborns after criticism that delaying the recommended birth-dose vaccine could put babies at risk. Energy Access: A regional electrification project has powered 490 communities and improved electricity service for nearly half a million people across Mali, The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau. Conservation: Guinea-Bissau joined 11 other West African countries in renewing commitments to carry out and fund a regional vulture conservation plan.
